The Myanmar Affairs Alliance (MAA), an advocacy coalition representing Myanmar migrant workers in Malaysia, called on the Malaysian government to stand with the people of Myanmar and reject regime leader Min Aung Hlaing during a protest in Kuala Lumpur against his two-day visit to the country on Thursday.

“We want the international community to know that Myanmar people do not support the regime and oppose Min Aung Hlaing’s visit. We want the Malaysian government to respect the people’s will,” Soe Htet Thein, the spokesperson for Myanmar Affairs Alliance, told DVB.
